The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards and as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,Therefore, the Company's quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
Note 2 — NewRecently issued accounting standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in a joint effort with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued new accounting guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This new guidance, as amended by additional guidance issued in 2015 and 2016, is encompassed in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and is designed to enhance the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, and affects any entity that enters into contracts with customers or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The new guidance establishes principles for reporting information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective method to all of its contracts; as a result, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting the guidance as a $1.2 million increase to the Company's opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. In addition, in connection with its adoption of the new guidance, the Company reclassified the reserve for product returns from a reduction of receivables to a liability. The reserve for returns and allowances was $4.2 million at July 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position. Additional information and disclosures required by this new standard are contained in Note 3.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will changechanges the requirements for accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees (including lessees under both leases classifiedin connection with a lease as finance leases,to which are to be classified based on criteria similar to that applicable to capital leases under current guidance, and leases classified as operating leases) willan entity is a lessee, the entity generally must recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet, initially measured as the present value of lease payments under the lease. Under currentprevious guidance, operating leases arewere not recognized on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases with an option to elect a package of practical expedients. Further, companies can elect to apply the transition approach either for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or those existing at, or entered into after, the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance requiring companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity sales and transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period in which the transfer occurs. Previously, recognition was prohibited until the assets were sold to an outside party or otherwise utilized. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 20182019 using thea modified retrospective method of adoption; as a result,transition approach, which requires leases existing at, or entered into after, January 1, 2019 to be recognized and measured in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $105.3 million and $106.6 million, respectively, upon adoption of the cumulative effect of adoptingguidance. The difference between the guidanceadditional lease assets and lease liabilities was recorded as a $1.8 million increasean adjustment to the Company's opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance didearnings.

In March 2017,As permitted under the FASB issued guidance for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance requires that these employers disaggregate specified components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (collectively, "net benefit cost"). Specifically, the guidance generally requires employers to present in the income statement the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018; the impact was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The new guidance, providesthe Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of the new guidance to short term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for changes to current designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and toshort term leases on a straight-line basis over the method of presenting hedge results.lease term. In addition, the Company has elected to apply certain practical expedients available under the new guidance. As a result, and in connection with the transition to the new guidance, includes certain targeted improvementsthe Company will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classification of any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company applied the practical expedients described above to easeits entire lease portfolio at the application of current guidance related toJanuary 1, 2019 adoption date. Furthermore, as permitted under the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The new guidance, is effectivethe Company has made, as a practical expedient, an accounting policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead will account for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

Additional information and disclosures required by this guidance on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.standard are contained in Note 8.
In February 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to address a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the TCJA"). Existing guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be adjusted for a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The guidance is applicable even in situations in which the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income (rather than in net income), such as amounts related to benefit plans and hedging activity. As a result, the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive

income (referred to as stranded tax effects) do not reflect the appropriate tax rate. The new guidance, which was effective January 1, 2019, permits for a reclassification of these amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings thereby eliminating the stranded tax effects. The new guidance also requires certain disclosures about the stranded tax effects. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods for which financial statements haveCompany elected not yet been issued. The new guidance can be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporatereclassify stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.to retained earnings.
From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that is adopted by the Company as of the effective date or, in some cases where early adoption is permitted, in advance of the effective date. The Company has assessed the recently issued guidance that is not yet effective and, unless otherwise indicated above, believes the new guidance will not have a material impact on the its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Note 3 - Net revenues
The Company primarily generates revenue from the sale of medical devices including single use disposable devices and, to a lesser extent, reusable devices, instruments and capital equipment. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the Company’s customer are satisfied; this occurs upon the transfer of control of the products. Generally, transfer of control to the customer occurs at the point in time when the Company’s products are shipped from the manufacturing or distribution facility. For the Company’s OEMOriginal Equipment and Development Services ("OEM") segment, most revenue is recognized over time because the OEM segment generates revenue from the sale of custom products that have no

The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies as a result of changes in customer sales incentives, including discounts and rebates, and returns offered to customers. The estimate of revenue is adjusted upon the earlier of the following events: (i) the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or (ii) the consideration becomes fixed. The Company’s policy is to accept returns only in cases in which the product is defective and covered under the Company’s standard warranty provisions. When the Company gives customers the right to return products, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The reserve for returns and allowances was $4.2 million and $4.5 million as of July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively. In estimating customer rebates, the Company considers the lag time between the point of sale and the payment of the customer’s rebate claim, customer-specific trend analyses, contractual commitments, including stated rebate rates, historical experience with respect to specific customers and other relevant information as the Company has a history of providing similar rebates on similar products to similar customers. The reserve for customer incentive programs, including customer rebates, was $13.6 million and $10.7 million at July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively. The Company expects the amounts subject to the reserve as of July 1, 2018 to be paid within 90 days subsequent to period-end.

Note 8 — Leases

The Company has operating leases for various types of properties, consisting of manufacturing plants, engineering and research centers, distribution warehouses, offices and other facilities, and equipment used in operations. Some leases provide the Company with an option, exercisable at the Company's gross carrying amountsole discretion, to terminate the lease or extend the lease term for one or more years. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease that provides the Company with an option to extend the lease term, the Company takes into account payments to be made in the optional extension period when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Total lease cost (all of and accumulated amortization relatingwhich related to intangible assets asoperating leases) was $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Note 89 — Financial instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contractscurrency forward contracts
The Company uses derivative instruments for risk management purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used to manage exposure related to foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are used to manage exposure related to near term foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company enters into the non-designated foreign currency forward contracts for periods consistent with its currency translation exposures, which generally approximate one month. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2018March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a loss related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts of $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.$3.0 million. For the three and sixmonths ended July 2, 2017,April 1, 2018, the Company recognized a lossgain related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts of $2.3$0.6 million.
The total notional amount for all open foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $63.4 million and $3.1$115.3 million, respectively. The total notional amount for all open non-designated foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $132.8 million and $125.9 million, respectively. All open foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2019 have durations of twelve months or less.
Cross-currency interest rate swaps
On March 4, 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements with five different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, the Company has notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.8750% for €219.2 million at an annual interest rate of 2.4595%. The swap agreements are designed as net investment hedges and expire on March 4, 2024.
On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements with six different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, the Company has notionally exchanged $500 million at an annual interest rate of 4.625% for €433.9 million at an annual interest rate of 1.942%. The swap agreements are designed as net investment hedges and expire on October 4, 2023.
The swap agreements described above require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchange through a net settlement.
The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized foreign exchange gain of $10.6 million in foreign currency translation adjustments within AOCI related to the cross-currency swaps.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. However, a portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable outside the United States include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the creditworthiness of the healthcare systems in those countries and the financial stability of those countries' economies.
Certain of the Company’s customers, particularly in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, have extended or delayed payments for products and services already provided, raising collectability concerns regarding the Company’s accounts receivable from these customers. As a result, the Company continues to closely monitor the allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to these customers. The following table provides information regarding the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts, the aggregate net current and long-term trade accounts receivable related to customers in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal and the percentage of the Company’s total net current and long-term trade accounts receivable represented by these customers' trade accounts receivable at July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities reported at fair value among Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the sixthree months ended July 1, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Valuation Techniques
The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to satisfy benefit obligations under Company benefit plans and other arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts.contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage foreign currency transaction exposure as well as exposure to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of the foreign currency forward contractsand cross-currency swap agreements by calculating the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities, as of the measurement date, based on quoted market prices, and taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs (inputs that are not observable in the market) are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to the Company’s acquisitions, which are discussed immediately below.
Contingent consideration
As of July 1, 2018, the Company estimates that contingent consideration payments will occur in 2018 through 2029, and the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company could make under contingent consideration arrangements is $335.2 million. The contingentContingent consideration liabilities, which primarily consist of Company obligations payable if specified net salesrevenue-based goals, are achieved, are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using assumptions including estimated revenues (based on internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans), discount rates, probability of payment and projected payment dates.

The contingent consideration fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore constitute Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration liability related to the NeoTract acquisition represents the estimated fair value of the Company's obligations to make payments of up to $375 million in the aggregate if specified sales goals are achieved. Specifically, the payments are based on net sales (as defined in the NeoTract acquisition agreement) for the periods from January 1, 2018 through April 30, 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company made payments of $75.0 million ($64.2 million of which was paid duringdetermines the second quarter 2018 and $10.8 million of which was paid during the first week of the third quarter 2018) as a result of the achievement of a sales goal for the period from January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2018. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the NeoTract acquisition was estimatedliabilities using a Monte Carlo valuation approach, which simulatessimulation (which involves a simulation of future revenues during the earn out-period using management's best estimates. The Company determines the value of its other contingent consideration liabilities based onestimates) or a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. Increases in projected revenues, estimated cash flows and probabilities of payment may result in significantly higher fair value measurements; decreases in these items may have the opposite effect. Increases in the discount rates in periods prior to payment may result in significantly lower fair value measurements;measurements and decreases in these itemsthe discount rates may have the opposite effect.

Note 1011 — Shareholders’ equity
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased to include dilutive securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

The weighted average number of shares that were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of earnings per share were 2.00.1 million (inclusive of 1.2and 0.6 million potentially dilutive shares that were excluded because of the net loss for the three months ended July 1, 2018)March 31, 2019 and 0.7 million for the three and six months ended JulyApril 1, 2018, respectively, and 0.7 millionand0.6 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2017, respectively.
In connection with the issuance by the Company in 2010 of convertible notes that matured in August 2017, and as part of hedging arrangements between the Company and two institutional counterparties, the Company issued warrants to the counterparties, entitling them to purchase Company common stock. These transactions are described in greater detail in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. At July 1, 2018, warrants to purchase 197,274 shares at an exercise price of $74.65 per share remained outstanding. The remaining warrants expire ratably over a period ending on August 31, 2018. At July 1, 2018, the intrinsic value of the warrants (i.e. the excess of the aggregate market price of the underlying shares over the aggregate exercise price of the warrants) was $38.5 million.

Effective income tax rate136.3% 13.4% 23.2% 7.4%

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, permanently reducing corporate income tax rates from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018; implementing a territorial tax system, by generally providing for, among other things, a dividends received deduction on the foreign source portion of dividends received from a foreign corporation if specified conditions are met; and imposing a one-time repatriation tax on undistributed post-1986 foreign subsidiary earnings and profits, which are deemed repatriated for purposes of the tax. In addition, the TCJA imposes two new U.S. tax base erosion provisions: (1) the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions and (2) the base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") provisions, which are explained in more detail in Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In accordance with the applicable provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company included in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 provisional amounts reflecting the tax impact related to deemed repatriated earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Once the Company's accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA is complete, the amounts with respect to the income tax effects of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the TCJA.

In addition, the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended JulyMarch 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 includesinclude the benefit of a lower U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21.0% resulting from the enactment of the TCJA, partially offset by a tax costcosts associated with GILTIthe global intangible low income provisions of the TCJA, which require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary's intangible assets, and other TCJA relatedTCJA-related changes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2017 reflects a tax benefit associated with costs incurred in connection with the Vascular Solutions acquisition.

certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.
Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At July 1, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded $1.0$0.9 million and $5.7$6.6 million in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, the potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of July 1, 2018.March 31, 2019. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-2010-15 years.
Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, product warranty, commercial disputes, intellectual property, contract, employment, environmental and other matters. As of July 1, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded accrued liabilities of $1.7$0.4 million in connection with such contingencies, representing its best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible losses that will be incurred to resolve these matters.
Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any outstanding litigation and claims is likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period incurred.
Tax audits and examinations: The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to tax examinations by various tax authorities. As of July 1, 2018,March 31, 2019, the most significant tax examinationsexamination in process areis in Germany and Italy.Germany. The Company may establish reserves with respect to its uncertain tax positions, after which it adjusts the reserves to address developments with respect to its uncertain tax positions, including developments in thesethis tax examinations.examination. Accordingly, developments in tax audits and examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to the Company’s recorded tax liabilities, which could impact the Company’s financial results.

Note 16 — Subsequent event
On April 5, 2019, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a five-year revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion and a term loan facility of $700.0 million. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) by substantially all of the material domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, by a lien on substantially all of the assets owned by the Company and each guarantor. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility under the Credit Agreement is April 5, 2024.
At the Company’s option, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% or at an alternate base rate, which is defined as the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii) 0.50% above the greater of the federal funds rate and the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar borrowings and (iii) 1.00% above adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period on such day, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, in each case subject to adjustments based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Overdue loans will bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such loans plus 2.00%.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants that, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, qualifications and thresholds, (a) place limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries regarding the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional liens, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, investments and acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements, changes in lines of business and swap agreements, and (b) require the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with sanction laws and other laws and agreements, to deliver financial information and certain other information and give notice of certain events, to maintain their existence and good standing, to pay their other obligations, to permit the administrative agent and the lenders to inspect their books and property, to use the proceeds of the Credit Agreement only for certain permitted purposes and to provide collateral in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00. The Company is further required to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” “prospects” and similar expressions typically are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about our business and the industry and markets in which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers;suppliers, including delays or cancellations inof shipments; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; our inability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and operate such businesses profitably in accordance with our expectations; our inability to effectively execute our restructuring plans and programs; our inability to realize anticipated savings from restructuring plans and programs; the impact of enacted healthcare reform legislation and proposals to amend, replace or repeal the legislation; changes in Medicare, Medicaid and third party coverage and reimbursements; the impact of tax legislation and related regulations; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; global economic factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, trade disputes, sovereign debt issues and the impact of the United Kingdom’s vote to leavepending departure from the European Union;Union, commonly known as "Brexit"; difficulties entering new markets; and general economic conditions. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise specifically stated by us or as required by law or regulation.


Overview
Teleflex is a global provider of medical technology products that enhancefocused on enhancing clinical benefits, improveimproving patient and provider safety and reducereducing total procedural costs. We primarily design, develop, manufacture and supply single-use medical devices used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. We market and sell our products worldwide through a combination of our direct sales force and distributors. Because our products are used in numerous markets and for a variety of procedures, we are not dependent upon any one end-market or procedure. We are focused on achieving consistent, sustainable and profitable growth by increasing our market share and improving our operating efficiencies.
 
We evaluate our portfolio of products and businesses on an ongoing basis to ensure alignment with our overall objectives. Based on our evaluation, we may identify opportunities to divest businesses and product lines that do not meet our objectives. In addition, we may seek to optimize utilization of our facilities through restructuring initiatives designed to further improve our cost structure and enhance our competitive position. We also may continue to explore opportunities to expand the size of our business and improve operating margins through a combination of acquisitions and distributor to direct sales conversions, which generally involve our elimination of a distributor from the sales channel, either by acquiring the distributor or terminating the distributor relationship (in some instances, particularly in Asia, the conversions involve our acquisition or termination of a master distributor and the continued sale of our products through sub-distributors or through new distributors). Distributor to direct sales conversions are designed to facilitate improved product pricing and more direct access to the end users of our products within the sales channel.
On June 21, 2018, we acquired certain assets of QT Vascular LTD ("QT Vascular"), a medical device company that developed and marketed coronary balloon catheters, which complement our interventional product portfolio. The consideration transferred for the assets was $20.6 million.
On May 1, 2018,February 19, 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan involving the relocation of certain manufacturing operations to an existing lower-cost location the outsourcing of certain distribution operations and related workforce reductions (the "2018"2019 Footprint realignment plan"). See "Result"Results of Operations - Restructuring and impairment charges" below and Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
On October 2, 2017, we acquired NeoTract, Inc. ("NeoTract"), a medical device company that developed and commercialized the UroLift System, a minimally invasive medical device for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. We made initial payments of $725.6 million in cash less a favorable working capital adjustment of $1.4 million. Additionally, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to NeoTract sales-based milestones as of July 1, 2018 was $227.7 million. The contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of our obligations, under the acquisition agreement, to make payments of up to $375 million in the


aggregate, of which $75 million was paid ($64.2 million of which was paid during the second quarter 2018 and $10.8 million of which was paid during the first week of the third quarter 2018), if specified net sales goals through the end of 2020 are achieved.
On February 17, 2017, we acquired Vascular Solutions, Inc. (“Vascular Solutions”), a medical device company that developed and marketed clinical products for use in minimally invasive coronary and peripheral vascular procedures, for an aggregate purchase price of $975.5 million.
During 2017 we also completed acquisitions related to our anesthesia and respiratory product portfolios and distributor to direct sales conversions. The total fair value of the consideration related to these acquisitions was $80.1 million.
See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
Change in Reportable Segments
Following our acquisition of Vascular Solutions, we commenced an integration program under which we are combining Vascular Solutions' businesses with some of our legacy businesses. As a result, effective duringDuring the fourthfirst quarter of 2017, we realigned our2019, the chief operating segments.

Results of Operations
As used in this discussion, "new products" are products for which commercial sales have commenced within the past 36 months, and “existing products” are products for which commercial sales commenced more than 36 months ago. Discussion of results of operations items that reference the effect of one or more acquired and/or divested businesses or assets (except as noted below with respect to acquired distributors) generally reflects the impact of the acquisitions and/or divestitures within the first 12 months following the date of the acquisition.acquisition and/or divestiture. In addition to increases and decreases in the per unit selling prices of our products to our customers, our discussion of the impact of product price increases and decreases also reflects for the first 12 months following the acquisition or termination of a distributor, the impact on the pricing of our products resulting from the elimination of the distributor, either through acquisition or termination of the distributor, from the sales channel.

For the three and six months ended July 1, 2018, we recorded $55.4 million and $58.4 million in restructuring and impairment charges, which primarily related to employee termination benefits under the 2018 Footprint realignment plan.
For the three months ended July 2, 2017, we recorded $0.9 million in restructuring charges, which primarily related to employee termination benefits.
For the six months ended July 2, 2017, we recorded $13.8 million in restructuring charges. The charges primarily related to termination benefits associated with the 2017 EMEA restructuring program and the 2017 Vascular Solutions integration program of $6.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
2018 Footprint realignment plan
On May 1, 2018, we initiated a restructuring plan involving the relocation of certain European manufacturing operations to an existing lower-cost location, the outsourcing of certain European distribution operations and related workforce reductions (the “2018 Footprint realignment plan"). These actions commenced in the second quarter 2018 and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2024.
We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring and restructuring related charges in connection with the 2018 Footprint realignment plan of $102 million to $133 million, of which, we expect $55 million to $72 million to be incurred in 2018 and most of the balance to be incurred prior to the end of 2024. We estimate that $99 million to $127 million of these charges will result in future cash outlays, of which we expect $6 million to $8 million to be made in 2018 and most of the balance to be made by the end of 2024. Additionally, we expect to incur $19 million to $23 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan, of which we expect up to $1 million to be incurred during 2018 and most of the balance to be incurred by the end of 2021.
We expect to begin realizing plan-related savings in 2018 and expect to achieve annual pre-tax savings of $25 million to $30 million once the plan is fully implemented.
Anticipated charges and pre-tax savings related to restructuring programs and other similar cost savings initiatives
In addition to the 2018 Footprint realignment plan, weWe have ongoing restructuring programs related to (i) the integration of Vascular Solutions into Teleflex; (ii) the centralization of certain administrative functions in our EMEA segment; (iii) the consolidation of our manufacturing operations (referred to as our 20162019, 2018 and 2014 Footprint realignment plans); and (iv) other restructuring programs designed to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.. We also have similar ongoing activities to relocate certain manufacturing operations within our OEM segment ("the OEM(the "OEM initiative") that do not meet the criteria for a restructuring program under applicable accounting guidance, butguidance; nevertheless, the activities willshould result in cost savings (we expect only minimal costs to be incurred)incurred in connection with the OEM initiative). With respect to our currently ongoing restructuring programs and the OEM initiative, the table below summarizes (1) the estimated total restructuring and restructuring related charges to be incurred and estimated annual pre-tax savings (includingto be realized as follows: (1) with respect to charges (a) the estimated total charges that will be incurred once the restructuring programs and OEM initiative are completed; (b) the charges incurred through December 31, 2018; and (c) the estimated charges to be incurred from January 1, 2019 through the last anticipated completion date of the restructuring programs and OEM initiative and (2) with respect to estimated annual pre-tax savings, related(a) the estimated total annual pre-tax savings to the OEM initiative)be realized once the restructuring programs and OEM initiative

Estimated charges and pre-tax savings are subject to change based on, among other things, the nature and timing of restructuring activities and similar activities, changes in the scope of restructuring plans and programs and the OEM initiative, unanticipated expenditures and other developments, the effect of additional acquisitions or dispositions, the failure to realize anticipated savings from a supply contract related to a component included in certain kits sold by our Americas segment and other factors that were not reflected in the assumptions made by management in previously estimating restructuring and restructuring related charges and estimated pre-tax savings. Moreover, estimated pre-tax savings relatingconstituting efficiencies with respect to


programs involving increased costs that otherwise would have resulted from business acquisitions involve, among other things, assumptions regarding the cost structure and integration of acquired businesses are particularly difficult to forecast because the estimate of pre-tax savings, to a considerable extent, involves assumptions regarding operation of businesses during periods when those businessesthat previously were not administered by our management.management, which are subject to a particularly high degree of risk and uncertainty. It is likely that estimates of charges and pre-tax savings will change from time to time, and the table below reflects changes from amounts previously estimated. In addition, the table below does not include estimated charges and pre-tax savings related to substantially completed programs. EstimatedThe 2017 Vascular Solutions integration program, the 2017 EMEA program, the 2016 Footprint realignment plan and the Other 2016 restructuring programs are excluded from the table below because they were substantially completed as of March 31, 2019. Additional details including estimated charges expected to be incurred in connection with the restructuring programs are described in more detail in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Pre-tax savings also can be affected by increases or decreases in sales volumes generated by the businesses subject to the consolidation of manufacturing operations; such variations in revenues can increase or decrease pre-tax savings generated by the consolidation of manufacturing operations. For example, an increase in sales volumes generated by the affected businesses, although likely increasing manufacturing costs, may generate additional savings with respect to costs that otherwise would have been incurred if the manufacturing operations were not consolidated.

As previously disclosed, during 2016, in connection with our execution of the 2014 Footprint realignment plan, we implemented changes to medication delivery devices included in certain of our kits, which are expected to result in increased product costs (and therefore reduce the annual savings we anticipated at the inception of the plan)program). However, we also expect to achieve improved pricing on these kits that will offset the increased product costs. The improved pricing is expected to resultcosts, resulting in estimated annual increased revenues of $5$3 million to $6$4 million, which is not reflected in the table above. WeSince 2017, we have realized a $1.0an aggregate benefit of $2.4 million benefit resulting from this incremental pricing in 2017. Moreover,pricing. More recently, during the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement with an alternate provider for the development and supply of a component to be included in certain kits sold by our Vascular North America and Anesthesia North America operating segments.Americas segment. The agreement will result in increased development costs but is expected to reduce the cost of the component supply, once the supply becomes commercially available, as compared to the costcosts incurred with respect to our current suppliers. Therefore, we anticipate a net savings from the agreement, which is reflected in the table above.
(4)While pre-tax savings address anticipated cost savings to be realized with respect to our historical expense items, they also reflect anticipated efficiencies to be realized with respect to increased costs that otherwise would have resulted from our acquisition of Vascular Solutions and Pyng Medical Corp. ("Pyng"), which we acquired in 2017. In this regard, the pre-tax savings are expected to result from the elimination of redundancies between our operations and Vascular Solutions’ and Pyng's operations, principally through the elimination of personnel redundancies.
2019 Footprint realignment plan
In February 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan primarily involving the relocation of certain manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations and related workforce reductions (the “2019 Footprint realignment plan"). These actions are expected to be substantially completed during 2022.


We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring and restructuring related charges in connection with the 2019 Footprint realignment plan of $56 million to $70 million, of which, we expect $21 million to $26 million to be incurred in 2019 and most of the balance is expected to be incurred prior to the end of 2021. We estimate that $53 million to $66 million of these charges will result in cash outlays, of which, $8 million to $9 million is expected to be made in 2019 and most of the balance is expected to be made by the end of 2021. Additionally, we expect to incur $29 million to $35 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan, of which, $18 million to $22 million is expected to be incurred during 2019 and most of the balance is expected to be incurred by the end of 2021.
We expect to begin realizing plan-related savings in 2021 and expect to achieve annual pre-tax savings of $12 million to $14 million once the plan is fully implemented, which will benefit all of our segments except OEM.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, permanently reducing corporate income tax rates from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018; implementing a territorial tax system, by generally providing for, among other things, a dividends received deduction on the foreign source portion of dividends received from a foreign corporation if specified conditions are met; and imposing a one-time repatriation tax on undistributed post-1986 foreign subsidiary earnings and profits, which are deemed repatriated for purposes of the tax. In addition, the TCJA imposes two new U.S. tax base erosion provisions: (1) the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions and (2) the base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") provisions, which are explained in more detail in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In accordance with the applicable provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, we included in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 provisional amounts reflecting the tax impact related to deemed repatriated earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Once our accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA is complete, the amounts with respect to the income tax effects of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the TCJA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will enable us to fund our operating requirements, capital expenditures and debt obligations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We have net cash provided by United States based operating activities as well as non-United States sources of cash available to help fund our debt service requirements in the United States. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by monitoring the funds available among our subsidiaries and determining the extent to which we can access those funds on a cost effective basis.
The TCJA significantly changed U.S. tax law by, among other things, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on undistributed post-1986 earnings and profitsOn March 4, 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements with five different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of foreign subsidiaries. Previously, we were not taxedvariability in the U.S. on certain foreign earnings unless and until they were repatriateddollar to the U.S.euro exchange rate. Under the TCJA,terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we willnotionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.8750% for €219.2 million at an annual interest rate of 2.4595%. The swap agreements, which expire on March 4, 2024, are designated as net investment hedges and require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or the earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to pay $154.0 million over eight years foreffect the deemed repatriation of these foreign earnings, regardless of whether such earnings are actually repatriated.exchange through a net settlement. As a result, we may be required to pay (or be entitled to receive) an amount equal to the difference, on the expiration or earlier termination date, between the U.S. dollar equivalent of the repatriation tax provisions€219.2 million notional amount and the $250 million notional amount. The swap agreements entail risk that the counterparties will not fulfill their obligations under the agreements. However, we believe the risk is reduced because we have entered into separate agreements with five different counterparties, all of whom are large, well-established financial institutions. Based on the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate in effect on March 4, 2019, and assuming exchange rates remain constant throughout the five year term of the TCJA,swap agreements, we anticipate that, generally, we will be able to accesswould realize a reduction in annual cash located at our foreign subsidiaries without incurring anyinterest expense of $6.0 million. See Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in this report for additional U.S. federal income tax liabilities. We are not aware of any other restrictions on repatriation of these funds and, subject to cash payment of additional foreign withholding taxes, these funds could be repatriated, if necessary.information.
To date, we have not experienced significant payment defaults by our customers, and we have sufficient lending commitments in place to enable us to fund our anticipated additional operating needs. However, although there have been recent improvements in certain countries, global financial markets remain volatile and the global credit markets are constrained, which creates a risk that our customers and suppliers may be unable to access liquidity. Consequently, we continue to monitor our credit risk, particularly with respect to customers in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, and consider other mitigation strategies. As of July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our net trade accounts receivable from publicly funded hospitals in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece were $26.4 million and $24.7 million, respectively. As of July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our net trade accounts receivable from customers in these countries were approximately 15.0%, of our consolidated net trade accounts receivable. For the six months ended July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, net revenues from customers in these countries were 6.3% of total net revenues, and average days that current and long-term trade accounts receivable were outstanding were 150 days and 162 days, respectively. If economic conditions in these countries deteriorate, we may experience significant credit losses related to the public hospital systems in these countries. Moreover, if global economic conditions generally deteriorate, we may experience further delays in customer payments, reductions in our customers’ purchases and higher credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows in 2018 and future years.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations provided net cash of approximately $181.6$60.2 million for the sixthree months ended July 1, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $197.7$86.8 million for the sixthree months ended July 2, 2017.April 1, 2018. The $16.1$26.6 million decrease is primarily attributable to the net unfavorable impactcontingent consideration payments of changes in working capital partially offset by favorable operating results. The net unfavorable impact from changes in working capital were due to a net decrease in income taxes payable and a net increase in accounts receivable which were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
The decrease in incomes taxes payable for the six months ended July 1, 2018 was $29.7 million compared to a decrease of $6.0 million for six months ended July 2, 2017. The decrease in income taxes payable was the result of higher payments in the first half of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in accounts receivable for the six months ended July 1, 2018 was $15.9 million compared to a decrease of $5.1 million for six months ended July 2, 2017. The net increase in accounts receivable is attributable to higher net revenues in the first half of 2018. In addition, in the first quarter of 2017, we sold $16.0 million of outstanding receivables related to sales of our products to public hospitals in Italy. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities for the six months ended July 1, 2018 was $38.1 million compared to an increase of $6.5 million for six months ended July 2, 2017. The increase is attributable to increased restructuring activity primarily related to the 2018 Footprint realignment plan.$25.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $60.5$23.5 million for the sixthree months ended July 1, 2018, which includes a cash outflow forMarch 31, 2019, due to capital expenditures of $38.0$23.5 million, andas well as acquisition payments of $22.5$1.0 million principally related to distributor to direct sales conversations. The cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of our acquisitionvein catheter reprocessing business of assets from QT Vascular.$1.0 million.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $102.4$124.4 million for the sixthree months ended July 1, 2018,March 31, 2019, which includesincluded contingent consideration payments of $62.6$111.0 million and dividend payments of $30.9 million


and borrowing repayments of $18.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from share based compensation and related tax benefits of $9.8$15.7 million.

Borrowings

TheOn April 5, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement relating to our(the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and a $700 million term loan used to fundfacility, each of which matures on April 5, 2024. The Credit Agreement replaces a portion of the consideration we paid to acquire Vascular Solutions (the “Credit Agreement”) and the indenturesprevious credit agreement under which we issued our 5.25% Senior Noteswere provided a $1.0 billion credit facility and a $750 million term loan facility, due 20242022 (the “2024 Notes”“prior term loan”) and 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock or other disqualified stock; create liens; pay dividends, make investments or make other restricted payments; sell assets; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; or enter into transactions with our affiliates.. The indenture with respect to our 2027 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to create liens; consolidate, merge or dispose of certain assets; and enter into sale leaseback transactions. Additionally,$700 million term loan facility

At our option, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to maintainadjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% or at an alternate base rate, which is defined as the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii) 0.50% above the greater of the federal funds rate and the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar borrowings and (iii) 1.00% above adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period on such day, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, in each case subject to adjustments based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio (generally, Consolidated Total Funded Indebtedness (which is net of “Qualified Cash”), as defined in the Credit Agreement on the date of determination to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the four most recent fiscal quarters ending on or preceding the date of determination). Overdue loans will bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such loans plus 2.00%. The Credit Agreement is described in more detail in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, place limitations on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create additional liens; enter into a merger, consolidation or amalgamation, dispose of certain assets, make certain investments or acquisitions, pay dividends, or make other restricted payments, enter into swap agreements or enter into transactions with our affiliates.

The Company is further required to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (generally, Consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters ending on or preceding the date of determination to Consolidated Interest Expense, as defined in the Credit Agreement, paid in cash for such period) of not less than 3.50 to 1.00.

The indentures governing our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock or other disqualified stock, create liens, merge, consolidate, or dispose of certain assets, pay dividends, make investments or make other restricted payments, or enter into transactions with our affiliates..

The obligations under the Credit Agreement, the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes are guaranteed (subject to certain exceptions) by substantially all of our material domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations under the Credit Agreement are (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets owned by us and each guarantor.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, we provided disclosure regarding our critical accounting estimates, which are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
New Accounting Standards
See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance, including estimated effects, if any, of adoption of the guidance on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
SeeCross Currency Swap Agreements


We have entered into cross-currency swap agreements with financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. Under the terms of swap agreements we entered into on October 4, 2018 (the “October 2018 swap agreements”), we notionally exchanged $500.0 million at an annual interest rate of 4.625% for €433.9 million at an annual interest rate of 1.942%. Under the terms of swap agreements we entered into on March 4, 2019 (the “March 2019 swap agreements”), we notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.8750% for €219.2 million at an annual interest rate of 2.4595%. The swap agreements, each of which has a term of five years, are designated as net investment hedges and require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchanges through a net settlement.
The interest component of the swap agreements will affect the interest expense recognized within our statement of operations. A 10% increase or decrease from the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate in effect on the respective dates we entered into each group of swap agreements would result in a change to the annual pre-tax net benefit of approximately $13.4 million under the October 2018 swap agreements and approximately $6.0 million under the March 2019 swap agreements.
In this regard, a favorable foreign currency change in the designated investment value of our foreign subsidiaries that use euros as their functional currency generally will be offset by an unfavorable foreign currency change in the swap agreements, and vice versa. A 10% fluctuation in the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate from the respective rates in effect on the respective dates we entered into each group of swap agreements would have an approximately $50 million and $25 million impact on the fair value of the notional amount of the October 2018 swap agreements and March 2019 swap agreements, respectively, and an offsetting $50 million and $25 million impact on the designated net investment value of the foreign subsidiaries. In addition, in the event of a significant decline in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate, our payment obligations to the counterparties could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows. In this regard, if, at the expiration or earlier termination of the swap agreements, the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate has declined by 10% from the rates in effect at the respective dates we entered into each group of swap agreements, we would be required to pay to the counterparties approximately $50 million under the 2018 swap agreements and $25 million under the March 2019 swap agreements.
The swap agreements entail risk that the counterparties will not fulfill their obligations under the agreements. However, we believe the risk is reduced because with regard to both the October 2018 swap agreements and March 2019 swap agreements, we have entered into separate agreements with several different counterparties, all of whom are large, well-established financial institutions.
Except as set forth above, there have been no material changes to the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and


(ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management’s assessment of disclosure controls and procedures excluded consideration of NeoTract’s internal control over financial reporting.  NeoTract was acquired during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the exclusion is consistent with guidance provided by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for up to one year from the date of acquisition, subject to specified conditions.  NeoTract's total assets (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) were $84.6 million as of July 1, 2018; its revenues for the three and six months ended July 1, 2018 were $47.7 million and $90.0 million, respectively.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changeOn January 1, 2019, we adopted new lease accounting guidance, as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. To facilitate our adoption of the new guidance, we have implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including development of processes to gather data regarding our leases and to address the financial reporting requirements prescribed by the new guidance. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recentrecently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II OTHER INFORMATION
